It wasn’t as though it was something Charlie needed, but getting a job helped her find the escape she craved from her parents and brother, even. She loved him, and them or she convinced herself she did, they were here parents after all, she had to. But that didn’t mean, she didn’t need Charlie time, so with little experience, she landed a gig at Hogs Head, sure to only pick up shifts that would ensure her parents would never find out. So, after her shift, she quietly entered the manor, not expecting anyone to be up, Charlie jumped as eyes landed on a clearly angered Thor. “ I didn’t think anyone would be up at this hour, what happened?” Charlie asked as she set her bag down, concern in her voice, she knew better than to take her brother’s frustrations at their parents to heart.
“I wasn’t even supposed to be here this late, but uh,” Thor swallowed, “I just was having a conversation with our father. Everything’s fine.” As soon as the words left his lips, Thor knew how stupid he sounded. Noting the concern in her voice, Thor sighed, running his hands through his hair as he sat down on the bench outside their family home. “Just the usual. Dad wanted me to do something awful, I refused and well, you know what happens next.” Thor winced slightly, “Oh, and you know, I’m not ‘wooing’ Hestia fast enough. Apparently if I don’t start getting this betrothal moving quicker, he’s going to take action. Whatever that means.”
